11. Multivitamins
One of the proposed mechanisms behind why IF leads to weight loss is the fact that the individual simply has less time to eat and therefore eats less. While the principle of energy in versus energy out holds true, something that isn’t often discussed is the risk of vitamin deficiencies while in a caloric deficit. Though a multivitamin is not necessary with a balanced diet of plenty of fruits and vegetables, life can get hectic, and a supplement can help fill the gaps.
12. Smoothies
If a daily supplement doesn’t sound appealing, try springing for a double dose of vitamins by creating homemade smoothies packed with fruits and vegetables. Smoothies are a great way to consume multiple different foods, each uniquely packed with different essential nutrients.
Quick tip: Buying frozen can help save money and ensure ultimate freshness.
